Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 11-14-18

It’s Wednesday and Gary is flying solo again. Topics are Bendy’s charity efforts, buying too many things, converting a hobby to a business, and regaining stitching motivation. It’s a stream of consciousness that will be food for thought or make you want to go watch Survivor. We’ll see. Sunday’s guest: Laura Mina, conservator at Winterthur.

There is no dispute that Inspirations is the world’s most beautiful needlework magazine with every issue showing some of the most beautiful needlework designs available to stitchers today. Editor Susan O’Connor has been with the magazine for all 100 issues. She joins us this week to talk about the magazine’s history, what’s involved in assembling each issue, and some of the great designers who contribute to Inspirations. It’s a magazine that every needleworker should receive and our conversation with Susan will help you understand why.–Gary and Christine
